Set in their suburban hair salon, Tease!, Vanessa and Tumi play best friends, Eva and Neo, stylists and ‘therapists’ to weekly regulars, offering the audience a glimpse into the familiar world of client-stylist relations – a veritable stream of conversation, ‘skinner’ and agony aunt-style relationship advice.
In an unexpected personal and professional funk, Eva and Neo embark on a journey of self discovery. Armed with intimate client knowledge and a growing understanding of what women (and men) want…and need, our intrepid Tease! stylists launch a quiet, backroom business selling toys… of the adult persuasion.
With a healthy dose of self-deprecating funny and a whole lot of heart, versatile Tumi and Vanessa play all characters – from the elderly Muslim and Jewish women eager to sample new toys to the liberated sex class instructor and the sanctimonious housewife having a passionate affair with her *ahem* SpeedQueen! TEASE! will lighten your load, enlighten and entertain.
It is a smart, refreshingly honest comedy with a potent message about sexual health and taking back personal pleasure, a journey of awakening and empowerment to demystify taboos and shrug off shame.
TEASE Auto & General Theatre on the Square Mon 25 February – Sat 16 March Show times: Tuesday – Friday: 20:15 Saturday: 18:00 & 20:15
